St. Alexandre Square

St. Alexandre Square (presently Three Cross Square) in Warsaw (Poland), pre-1915.

„A group of curiously attentive people often stands on the corner of Bracka Street and Three Cross Square. Cooks with baskets of raw products, dames in fur coats, elegant men, bums … A voice, sometimes thunderous, sometimes blasting, sometimes metallic, now a bass, later high and womanly—something is talking into space … Of course: a store with radio equipment and a huge loudspeaker mounted behind the window.”
Maria Kuncewiczowa, Dyliżans warszawski [The Warsaw coach]
